Years ago I worked in a car repair body shop, in those days everything was sprayed in cellulose. Each time a car was sprayed the sprayer would test the spray gun against the wall. It is surprising how quick a bulge of paint grows, I remember chipping these off to harvest the paint layered pieces. Interesting video.
Used to paint truck caps, cars and RV's and was always cutting chunks of overspray up to look at them. Never ever thought of polishing them! Very cool man.
Wow! That is wonderful! I can only imagine the beautiful pieces u have created with those chunks! Ideas r running thru my mind so fast I can't keep up! Lol I'll have to write them down :D Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful creation!
wow the polished dried paint looks amazing! it tells a story in its own. the light blue green feels like the 6o with those long tailed fin cars .very nice

Wow you are so lucky to have those unique pieces to work on, especially, like you said, that it just wouldn't be allowed to happen in a modern factory (unfortunately lol) so the chances of falling on some is remote to say the least, enjoyed your vid though an look forward to seeing some more an maybe one or two of you working on them ! Thanks
i own an amazingly marbeled tie clip, i recieved from a friend years ago. to him it was sold as a crafted mineral, named "fordite". i would love to see a piece, formed from modern day effect paints!
Hey. I'm a pipeliner and I've been throwing some pretty cool looking rocks that ive found when we've dug our trenches. If you're interested in them I'd gladly let you have them. I'd love to see how they looked polished.
Just be careful cutting into that paint since it's probably chock-ablock with lead. Use a dust mask and don't forget to wash your hands. Very interesting cross-sections, though.
Hello Jeffery, I stumbled upon your site today by accident.....and what a gift you have. I wanted to ask you, I have been recently put on disability due to heart problems, 5 bypasses that are clogged and nothing can be done for them, so I started working with stones. I am making a polishing wheel, already have a saw, but since I was a kid I have been a rock hound. so to my question, where would, or could I find chunks of paint that has dried like you featured in your video. My God, how beautiful that is to see polished!!!!! I can no longer work outside like I used to do, I repaired small engines for 50 years, so sitting and working with stones, and maybe dried paint, is something I would love to do. Where would I find the dried paint? Thank you for you time, Jim Willoughby
Hello Jim , I really Don't know of any available at this time , there are some Beautiful Agates for sale on line that are Fun to work with and more durable than paint .. , Best wishes to you and Thank-you for watching : )
Those paint pieces were really neat. I thought that finished one was a mokume gane in polymer clay. It looked a lot like one. I would love to find some paint pieces like that to work on. - Heidi
Thanks for that info. :) I am thinking I may try to make some myself using a hydro dipping technique. No idea how well it will work but that is most of the fun. :)
Hey Jeff! You've got some great stuff there and your polished stones look awesome. I'm building a slab table but all of my slabs are unpolished. Do you have any info/tips on how to polish slabs of agate? I have a belt sander and a dremel if that counts for anything! Thanks!
+Macy Jones , I Don't use tools on Cutting and polishing Rock except ones that are Made for that purpose , I have seen some people take big slabs of agate and skip the polishing process and mount the slabs in clear resin for tables, resin is easy to sand and bring up to a fine polish.
+Amanda Willis , Hello . if the Quartz is foggy it will stay that way where ever it is IN the quartz, polishing is usually a surface treatment, Flat Laps used wet are good to take out some chipped points and use the proper steps to a polish, if that was my Quartz I'd leave it alone and enjoy that one in it's Natural state. : )
